Breast cancer prevention practices vary across Canada
Breast cancer preventive practices for Canadian women carrying the cancer gene vary across the country, says University of Toronto research, and many women are not taking advantage of the options available. view more (2007-08-15)
DNA differences may influence risk of Hodgkin disease
A new analysis has found that certain variations in genes that repair DNA can affect a person's risk of developing Hodgkin disease. view more (2009-03-09)
Women at risk from vitamin A deficiency
Almost half of UK women could be suffering from a lack of vitamin A due to a previously undiscovered genetic variation, scientists at Newcastle University have found. view more (2009-11-18)

USC researchers identify 'regulatory' genetic sequences that may predict risk for prostate cancer
Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel genetic mechanism that may govern an individual's risk of developing prostate cancer. view more (2009-08-17)
Low birth weight of a baby entails risks for the baby's father
Parents whose children are born with a low birth weight run greater risk of dying of cardiovascular diseases. Even the fathers are at greater risk. These findings are published in a new report by Karolinska Institutet. The report shows that genetic factors affect both birth weight and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. view more (2005-06-29)

Model predicts colon cancer inheritable genetic defects
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University and other institutions have developed a new prediction model for genetic defects known as Lynch syndrome, which predisposes families to develop colorectal cancer. view more (2006-09-27)
Does evolution select for faster evolvers?
It's a mystery why the speed and complexity of evolution appear to increase with time. For example, the fossil record indicates that single-celled life first appeared about 3.5 billion years ago, and it then took about 2.5 billion more years for multi-cellular life to evolve. view more (2007-01-30)
Unlocking The Secrets Of Evolution
Exactly fifty years ago, Watson and Crick revealed the structure of DNA, unleashing a scientific revolution. On the anniversary of that momentous discovery, the world's leading science journal, Nature, will publish new and groundbreaking genetic research by Bangor University scientist, Dr. Isabelle Colson. Isabelle is an expert in evolutionary... view more... (2003-03-06)
Genes hold the key to how happy we are, scientists say
Happiness in life is as much down to having the right genetic mix as it is to personal circumstances according to a recent study. view more (2008-03-05)
Genome of saltwater creature could aid understanding of gene grouping
The genetic code of a simple saltwater creature could help researchers learn more about how groups of genes function in humans and other species. view more (2008-08-21)
Childbirth not linked to urinary incontinence, study finds
Postmenopausal women who have given birth vaginally do not appear to suffer from urinary incontinence at higher rates than their sisters who have never given birth. view more (2005-12-02)
Mayo discovers protein as potential tactic to prevent tumors
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that a protein that initiates a "quality control check" during cell division also directs cell death for those cells damaged during duplication. view more (2006-10-13)
GENETIC SCREENING BEST OPTION FOR FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLAEMIA (p165)
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a common, potentially lethal genetic disorder that is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This disorder is underdiagnosed and undertreated worldwide. Research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET concludes that, to identify as many people at high risk of CVD as possible, both molecular... view more... (2001-01-18)
Breakthrough in Molecular Genetics of Strawberry
The world's first molecular map for wild strawberry (Fragaria) constructed using transferable DNA markers has been produced by scientists at East Malling Research (EMR) in association with collaborators at the University of Reading. view more (2004-12-08)
IFAR contributes to study that finds genes that influence the start of menstruation
Two scientists at the Institute for Aging Research of Hebrew SeniorLife are part of an international team of investigators that has identified genes that influence the start of menstruation, a milestone of female reproductive health that has lifelong influences on overall health. view more (2009-06-01)
Scientists find shared genetic link between the dental disease periodontitis and heart attack
The relationship between the dental disease periodontitis and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been known for several years. view more (2009-05-26)
Scientists unravel the genetic coding of the pea
The pea is one of many important crop species that is unsuited to the Agrobacterium-based genetic modification techniques that are commonly used to work with crops. view more (2008-02-26)
Kidney function discovery sheds light on genetic complexity of disease
To find a cure for cancer, haemophilia and other diseases, researchers need to be looking for complex, interacting genetic factors, according to the authors of a new study. view more (2008-11-26)
